"He (Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira) just got that title," Herring said. "Let the poor guy enjoy his title a few times before he has to have another battle with me."

Herring has already faced Nogueira three times in his career, coming up short each time (two via decision and one by submission). But those three losses have not deterred Herring from wanting another shot at the UFC's interim heavyweight belt.

"It's starting to get like a bad 'Rocky' movie," Herring joked. "I'd love to take that one, though... I would love to fight (Nogueira) again. I want that belt, I do. I'll be honest. We'll just see what happens."

Herring, who turned 30 the day after his victory over Kongo, feels a change in training practices will propel him to further success in the octagon.

With Herring staying, Arlovski hopefully resigning and talk of Fedor coming to the UFC, the HW devision could go from one of the weaker devisions to one of the most exciting in just a few months if Dana plays is cards right!

If Herring gets a title shot before Arlovski though i'll be tempted to hope on a plain an whip Joe Silva's ass!

i have too disagree, Kongo did what he could. he did an alright job on the ground, he just needs too work on scrambling and not just lying there and taking knees. Kongo put up a fight on the ground in that fight. You have too give it too Kongo, whether he won or not, his ground game is getting better

There is no point to having any fighters fight each other 4 times. It's just not nessecary. There are so many opponents, contenders, and tough guys that different matchups should happen. Especially when Nog beat this guy 3x.
